Bruckenthalia (after S. von Bruckenthal, an Austrian nobleman). Ericaceae. Ornamental shrub, chiefly grown for its profusely produced small spikes of pink flowers.
Leaves linear, whorled: fls. in short racemes; calyx campanulate, 4-lobed; corolla campanulate with 4triangular lobes; stamens 8, included, connate at the base; disk rudimentary; caps, sub- globose, 4-celled, loculicid, many- seeded. — One species in S. E. Eu. and Asia Minor. Very closely related to Erica, but differs chiefly in the calyx being lobed only to the middle, not 4- parted, in the rudimentary disk and the connate stamens.
This is a low evergreen, heath- like shrub forming large tufts, with needle-shaped small leaves and small rosy pink nodding flowers in short terminal racemes, produced in great profusion. Perfectly hardy North and requiring the same treatment as hardy ericas; a pretty little plant for rockeries. Propagation is usually by seeds which are freely produced in cultivation and treated like-those of erica; also by cuttings.

Bruckenthalia (after S. von Bruckenthal, an Austrian nobleman). Ericaceae. Ornamental shrub, chiefly grown for its profusely produced small spikes of pink flowers.

Leaves linear, whorled: fls. in short racemes; calyx campanulate, 4-lobed; corolla campanulate with 4triangular lobes; stamens 8, included, connate at the base; disk rudimentary; caps, sub- globose, 4-celled, loculicid, many- seeded. — One species in S.

This is a low evergreen, heath- like shrub forming large tufts, with needle-shaped small leaves and small rosy pink nodding flowers in short terminal racemes, produced in great profusion. Perfectly hardy North and requiring the same treatment as hardy ericas; a pretty little plant for rockeries. Propagation is usually by seeds which are freely produced in cultivation and treated like-those of erica; also by cuttings.
